The investigation concerns whether People’s United and its board of directors violated the federal securities laws and/or breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders by failing to, among other things: (1) obtain the best possible consideration for People’s United shareholders; (2) determine whether M&T Bank is underpaying for People’s United; and (3) disclose all material information necessary for People’s United shareholders to adequately assess and value the merger consideration. On behalf of People’s United shareholders, Halper Sadeh LLP may seek increased consideration for shareholders, additional disclosures and information concerning the proposed transaction, or other relief and benefits.
